Lowe is growing up fast these days. It seemed to take forever for Ouest to reach this age where with Lowe it feels like he was born yesterday and today he is sitting up in chairs and grabbing anything that is in sight even if in sight is five feet away.

He started out on top of this blanket and within seconds was underneath it wrapped up tight as a mummy. I’ll be amazed if he isn’t crawling in the next couple of weeks. As it is now he can cover the distance of a room in under a minute doing nothing but rolls.

It’s strange for me to look up out of the engine compartment and no longer just see one face staring down at me. I foresee having a lot of “help” on the boat projects soon. Today Ouest and I worked on a project that included both of us using our spanners at the same time. Soon it’ll be time to get Lowe a set of tools too.

When I say I’ve got a list a mile long of little projects to get done this is the sort of project I’m referring to. It doesn’t mean much in the functioning of the boat, but when it comes time to drop the anchor it means a lot. Was that a hundred feet or a hundred and fifty?
